I loved something floral for above the crib, and the hoop seemed like the perfect way to balance out the square-ness of both the room and the crib. But, as with a lot of things I come across on Pinterest and then Etsy, I see the price tag and think to myself, "I could probably do that for way cheaper." And then I take forever to do it hahaha.
I feel like I may have went a little overboard in Connor's nursery with the art and wall decor. It just all feels a little busy.
I was totally in love with his crib decor too.
I'll probably pare down his room at some point, but for now, I knew I wanted to keep baby girl's room more peaceful and simple. Plus, the windows are a bit more spread out in her room, so there really isn't much wall space for decor anyway.
I also wanted to make the hula hoop green to go with the rest of the room since I don't really have gold accents. Awhile back, I picked up some faux-eucalyptus greens and faux coral colored Ranunculus from Ikea's floral section in anticipation of this project. I decided to stop at Five Below one day in search for a super cheap hula hoop (success!) which was conveniently located right next to a Joanne Fabrics for some green floral tape.
I picked up a medium sized hula hoop for $2 at Five Below and then this green floral tape.
Although, don't make the same mistake I did. Get the actual "floral tape" rather than the "stem tape". The stem tape ended up working, but it's kind of sticky on both sides and you have to kind of stretch it to ensure that it sticks on the hoop. My fingers were a mess by the time I was done!
I questioned why I would post this picture of super pregnant me in my pajamas with bed head that David happened to snap as he walked in the room… then I thought, whatever. I rarely have pictures of myself doing projects on the house, unless I specifically ask David to take one. So eff it. Here I am in my usual home glory of pajamas (aka comfy shorts and old UD t-shirts) hahah.
And you get to see our new family room rugs and how we still haven't touched the built ins yet. Sigh.
Once the hoop was wrapped, I was actually super pleased with the matte like finish of the stem tape!
I cut off the flowers and left a little of the stem to work with, and wrapped them around the hoop. Then, I wrapped stem tape around that to cover the stem and make it blend in with the hoop.
I was planning on doing a similar design to the inspiration picture I posted above, but I decided I kind of liked the lop-sided look of the flowers and leaves gathered rather than spread out.
Another unflattering picture of me… Aren't you jealous of my coffee table decor??
It was a lot of wrapping. I ended up going through about 2 rolls of stem tape. But I also had this guy's help to keep me company.
I am totally in love with the finished product! It's also the perfect green to go with the room.
I also then dragged my feet on figuring out how to hang it up. I decided on a bunch of little 3M command strips so that it would be "secured" to the wall rather than just hanging with a nail.
I hung it high enough where she's not likely to reach it, but in the chance that she'll probably eventually play with it, it's not heavy at all. Another negative of the stem tape vs floral tape… the 3M strips didn't really like to attach to the stickiness of the stem tape, so I ended up hot gluing them on and that worked like a charm. The 3M strips stuck to the wall perfectly, and the best part is, they won't leave a mark on the wall if we ever take it off.
You can't even tell they're there!
So, that's baby girl's over the crib decor!
I can't wait to share the whole room with you next week!
Have you done any quick and easy DIY projects for your nursery decor? Let me know!

I browsed the log, there are two warnings and one fatal error. But not after I looked thru the coding of php sdk, i realized that this fatal error, caused by empty string input in "mergeFromString", is in fact caused by the warnings of"
file_get_contents(http://localhost:51089)

no such host is known", because in RemoteApiProxy.php, function CreateLoginURLResponse:
$serialized_remote_respone = file_get_contents(
'http://localhost:' . $this->apiPort, false, $context);

once serialized_remote_response gets an empty result, it will affect the command in next line:
$remote_response->parseFromString($serialized_remote_respone);

In this case, my own codes are actually irrelevant as it is exactly the same as the google sample codes:here.
I just want to figure out why on earth, after google app engine starts its API server at
http://localhost:51089

yet it is not recognized! I tried pin this host and windows also threw error!

Pop-Ups convert well. But they are annoying. People don't like those boxes while reading content. And sometimes, they might even scare the readers away.
That's why Exit-Intent Pop-Up came to the scenario. The idea is to show the pop-up when readers are about to leave the page. It does not only increase the conversion rate but also decreases the bounce rate.
Here at RoadToBlogging, I am using Exit-Intent Pop-Up for getting both subscribers and affiliate sales. And it works GREAT. In fact, it helps me to convert visitors into loyal followers.

I am deadly delighted hearing this from you. As a new blogger, I really need your help. I will contact you through your contact page.
After your recommendation recently I had installed "Yeloni Exit Popup" in one of my sites. But the plugin developer cheating with all the plugins users by putting her AdSense code in after subscribe page, redirected page and so on (however its free!). I've utilized a couple of hours on this plugin's customization, but the free version is really very worst! I'd like to request you to remove this plugin name from your recommendation. Thanks.
Thanks for trying out Yeloni pop ups. I am Jayasri, I built the Yeloni plugin.
Professional bloggers and business websites can remove the redirect page with a premium add-on.
However I do understand your concern about the adsense on the redirect page. I will be happy to completely remove that if you can share any other non-intrusive monetization ideas.
Thanks for your response! But at the moment I don't want to use any premium add-on for your plugin. There are a huge premium alternative on the market and am decided to grab one of them. Keep fine.
this is not a good practice and Google even bans the site using this type of activities.
Try to make your plugin so good that people take paid subscription rather then triking the users.
This is some nice list, but if you could suggest some free plugins for exit intent popup?
Try #4, #5, or #6 plugin.

NIMH » Principal Investigator: Hugo Tejeda, Ph.D.
Dr. Tejeda completed his Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and at the National Institute on Drug Abuse under the mentorship of Drs. Patricio O'Donnell and Toni Shippenberg. His thesis work elucidated the role of neuromodulatory systems, including opioid receptors, in modulating synaptic integration in prefrontal cortical and limbic circuits. He completed a post-doctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Antonello Bonci at the National Institute Drug Abuse where he elucidated the mechanisms by which monoamine and opioid receptors, as well as stress modulate information processing in the nucleus accumbens. Dr. Tejeda joined the National Institute of Mental Health in 2018 as a Stadtman principal investigator. His research focuses on the role of neuromodulation in processing information in limbic neural circuits under physiological conditions and in psychiatric disorders.
Research in Dr. Tejeda's laboratory is aimed at elucidating how the brain utilizes neuromodulation in motivational and emotional neural circuits to process information and orchestrate behavior. Another major focus of the laboratory is to identify plastic changes in neuromodulation and synaptic integration in limbic circuits of animal models of psychiatric disorders to elucidate novel therapeutic targets and increase our understanding of conventional therapies. The laboratory employs an inter-disciplinary approach including electrophysiological, in-vivo imaging, optogenetic, and viral and transgenic techniques to dissect the function of neuromodulators, such as opioid receptors, in regulating synaptic integration in single cells, microcircuits, and distributed limbic networks to control motivated behavior.

Microreview [video game]: GALAK-Z: The Dimensional by 17-Bit
Pressing the Right Buttons (If You're the Right Person)
I didn't finish this game. Let's get this stated right from the start because, to some people, not finishing the game means you can't provide a well-rounded opinion of it. If you're one of those people, please stop reading. I wanted to finish it, I did! But there's a point where timeliness and necessity intersect. Would my opinion change about the game if I put in three times as much time as I already have to get to the end credits? In some cases, sure, but I don't think this is the case with GALAK-Z. It's made for replayability. The gameplay is why it exists, not the story or end goal.
GALAK-Z's influences are extremely obvious, right from the start, and they hit a lot of nostalgia buttons for me. It's a blend of arcade gaming, Macross, Voltron, and some Halo. When it starts, it looks like an arcade cabinet booting up. You control a space ship that can transform into a robot. The levels are all randomly generated, with a randomly selected objective, and they're delivered in groups of five episodes (levels) per season. Each season ends with a boss fight and some story narrative. It's all very Saturday morning TV. Nostalgia is what works best in this game.
What works second best is that replayable gameplay loop. In order to finish each episode, there are enemies and environmental hazards everywhere. This is where the Halo influences come in. It looks like a twin-stick shooter, but your ship is more survivable, and so are the enemies. Movement is extremely important, as you can face, shoot, and move in any direction, but you can also jump over shots and enemies. Enemies are numerous and you will die repeatedly. In "Rogue" difficulty (the default), death means you start the season over. Everything you've found and unlocked is wiped clean, with some minor exceptions.
In a Rogue Legacy twist, there's an item shop between episodes and you can find blueprints, which make upgrades available in that item shop. You can also find permanent upgrades that survive death. There is also a currency that you find by destroying enemies and it can give you either more credit in your next life, or another attempt at an episode you failed. In Rogue difficulty, early levels are spent gathering as many upgrades and credits as you can, because failure means you don't lose much. When you're three or four episodes deep, you get a lot more cautious so that you don't lose an entire season over a bad decision. In "Arcade" difficulty, you don't lose an entire season over death, just the current episode you're on. The difficulty hasn't changed, but the punishment for failure is less harsh.
It's this punishment that brings me to my love/hate relationship with GALAK-Z. I love everything that it's doing. It's nailing a lot of little design stuff in games that I think is great. It's a difficult game, and it's a rewarding game, but it hurts to lose so often. I'm a fairly determined person, who wants to see a game to the end, and I'm not sure I've got what it takes to ever finish GALAK-Z. It doesn't feel like it's unfair or completely random, but I've had seasons end in one dumb move. The levels are short so it's not hard to catch back up, but when I do complete a season, it feels less like I'm doing well, and more like I'm getting lucky. Even the Arcade difficulty isn't much of a saving grace because it means you get to beat your head against the same level over and over until you push through, or give up and start a new run in the hopes that you get better upgrades next time.
I never made it more than 15 minutes into any particular run on Rogue Legacy. By contrast, I've finished almost two seasons of GALAK-Z, out of five. GALAK-Z is a lot of fun, but you have to either be great at it, or a glutton for punishment if you expect to get anywhere. You almost have to love GALAK-Z to want to see it through to the end, or else you might not have the commitment it needs to get you there. It's a well thought-out design that is going to press buttons for the right people, and completely turn off a lot of others.
Baseline Assessment: 7/10
Bonuses: +1 great, 80's anime look and feel, +1 perfect controls
Penalties: -3 high punishment for failure necessitates either great skill or long commitment
Nerd Coefficient: 6/10 (still enjoyable, but the flaws are hard to ignore)

Bi-lateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Pain – Linda's Story | George Kramer, M.D.
Linda was headed to surgery to solve her chronic bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome resulting in extreme hand, wrist and elbow pain. Hoping to avoid surgery she searched and search for an alternative – which she found in Prolozone.


will we see in the future the Epoch Mod on DayZ SA?
Nice, I wish they'd release Chernarus + as DLC, I really want some of the objects for my terrain.
yep this would be nice! maybe in 1 , 2 - 9999 years?
I don't think it's really wise to make an arma 3 Epoch mod and DayzSA EPoch mod at the same time. UNLESS there is a seperate team working on it of course.
I heard of it some while ago but don't get your hopes up :P seems abit of kill on their Dayz project if they do.
I guess this is only client side building ( or just even placing objects) and vehicles?
Whats the current progress on their development and releasing the 'Single Player' / 'Server files' ?
release of the server files and singleplayer (only 64bit) when it comes in beta stage, maybe to end of this year.
Only if licence allows porting assets to Arma 3 (which would kill standalone), otherwise I don't see any of this happening. Can't think of any reason to use older engine from scripting point of view, once you've dived in A3 scripts there's no going back to stone age.

i think dayz sa is the initial of a new engine. a possible new arma 4 in the future will have the same engine.
because creating a new engine from the scratch for only one game makes no sense.
When we started with DayZ, we took the source version of the RV engine. Over the past months, we have cleaned up extensive new features and create more for the engine. At the same time, large parts have been completely removed or rewritten. The changes of which Dean said mean big jumps and we are now beginning to reach the point to where the DayZ engine is no longer than RV recognizable. For these reasons, and the massive work still comes, it is now known as the Enfusion.
Yeh, the enscript, promises to be faster than SQF. But IMO this can only be true with binary scripts. A2 had an extensive SQF function library which was capable of doing its job, but you can only go so far with runtime scripts, A3 came with many more... however lately I see devs converting some of them to binary versions, which is nice (i.e my new favorites - param/params). I don't know much about this enscript language and whether or not it will be compiled, so for now I would take those bold statements about speed with a grain of salt.
SQF has it's advantages - notably the ability to edit and recompile files in a live SP/MP game (most people doesn't even know you can do that).

An attorney retainer fee would have cost $10,000 up front, Kennedy said. And she was told expenses likely would double or triple before the trial ended. Plus, she said, the family had slim chances of winning since the law already sided with those withholding the file.
Van Slyke said it's one thing for news organizations to take a public body to court - they have money and resources. But it's another matter for the average citizen to do it.
"You rarely see individuals who can take that risk," Van Slyke said.
The Kennedys opted not to take it. Instead, they contacted an attorney friend who made formal written requests to the agencies on their behalf asking for the records. The family also launched its own letter-writing campaign.
All the efforts were blocked.
So the Kennedys went to state Rep. Steve Holland, D-Plantersville, who helped sponsor a bill in 2007 that would've made an exclusion to the law. In essence, it would have allowed investigative records of all closed cases to become public.
But Holland's bill was merged with another bill, and the whole matter ultimately died during the Legislature's 2007 session. Efforts to revive the issue are expected in 2008.
Holland said he was disappointed.
"I would like to see more transparency all up and down the food chain," he said. "But transparency isn't something that public entities, and even the Legislature, particularly care for."
It wasn't until the Itawamba County Times wrote an article about the family's struggles several months later that the victims' assistant for the state attorney general contacted the Kennedys. With that person's help, the family was able to get some - but not all - of the information from the file around Thanksgiving 2007.
"It's been a long struggle," Paula Kennedy said. "But we were able to gain some information. We know that none of this will help us bring our son back, but it will help us to put closure on this."
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, however, still refuses to share its file on the case.
Delores Lewis, spokeswoman for the Department of Public Safety, said DPS does not believe there is discretion allowed in the exemptions. Lewis said the Kennedys were given other avenues for information about their son's slaying.
"We suggested that a victim-witness coordinator and investigator meet with the family to answer its questions concerning the case," Lewis said.
Paula Kennedy said that did not work. The investigator, local law enforcement and DPS administrators "tossed it back and forth" but the family got no further on its request.
